Chapter 57 The right time, place and people
In Xiangjiang, public opinion can influence many things. It is very important to have a media company that can manipulate public opinion.
In the future, Xiangjiang will return sooner or later, and if you want to make the inland side pay attention, having money is not necessarily better than having a media newspaper.
There is no shortage of wealthy people in this area of Hong Kong, but media companies like TV stations are very limited. Media companies like TVB with huge influence, at present and in the future, are only ATV.
So, if you want to go to the inland side in the future to be able to get along better, let the inland side give two green lights, mastering a media company like TVB is the best way.
However, if you want TVB, you have to compete with which Uncle Shao, and it is not an easy task to compete with Uncle Shao for TVB.
No matter when, movies mainly rely on theaters, and only by owning theaters can they have everything, especially in this era, theaters can determine the life and death of a film company.
Different from Golden Harvest’s patchwork theater chains, Shaw Brothers Films not only has cinema chains in Xiangjiang, but also has its own cinema chains in Nanyang, Singapore, Malaysia, Java, Vietnam, Borneo and other regions.
Shaw Brothers films, whether good or bad, will not lose money. Shaw Brothers Films is most familiar with flow shooting, actors, directors, props, venues, etc. are produced in one package.
Through the assembly line model, the film cost of Shaw Brothers movies is compressed to the extreme. At the same time, with many theaters, even if it is a bad street movie, Shaw Brothers can still make money. The difference is nothing more than earning more and earning less.
Boss Shaw is most famous in later generations, not for Shaw Brothers movies, nor for TVB, but for the Run Run Shaw Buildings in various campuses in the inland.
In his previous life, since the 1980s, Boss Shao has donated huge sums of money to the inland education to build education and teaching facilities and built thousands of educational projects in the inland education through the cooperation of his fund and the inland Ministry of Education in the 1980s. The total donation amount exceeded tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
In many schools, especially those with a history, you can basically see a Shaw Building.
More than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, this is not decades later, but since the 1980s.
There are a lot of rich people in Xiangjiang, but it is the only one who donates more than tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in cash like Boss Shao.
Do movies make that much money?
Crap, of course not.
There is only one reason why Boss Shao made the donation without batting an eyelid, and that is because Boss Shao had encircled a lot of land in Xiangjiang for filming in his early years.
There are more than a thousand Shaw Brothers movies, all of which are self-produced and sold. Everyone wants to go to as big a movie theater as they want. With the land that Shaw Brothers movies have circled in the early stage, even if Boss Shao is not involved in real estate, he can just sell the land. Earn a lot of money.
To be rich is to be willful, Boss Shao explained this sentence very well.
According to Chen Yi's understanding, TVB and Shaw Brothers Films have had a cooperative relationship since the past two years. The two companies have trained artists through training classes to achieve sharing between the two actors. .
At the same time, Boss Shao is also a shareholder director of TVB.
Right time, place and people
In the first day, Chen Yi and the other party were dozens of years apart, and there was no slight advantage in age. When the other party became famous, he might not have been born yet, so there is no way to compare in this respect.
Besides, as a shareholder director of TVB, Boss Shao is also one of the proprietors of TVB, and Chen Yi has just started his career now, and what is even more difficult is making money for others.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the last person reconciled.
Boss Li and the Li family are the major shareholders of TVB and hold the absolute power of TVB. With the current relationship between Li Wenhui and him, once the two really get together, then he and the Li family will belong together.
Once Boss Li is in poor health and wants to take over, and Chen Yi intends to take over TVB, as long as Boss Li approves it, no matter how rich or famous Shao Boss is, it will be useless.
However, the premise of all this is that Li Wenhui can get together with him, and at the same time, in the next few years, he can make some achievements that are recognized by the Li family.
Otherwise, even if Li Wenhui followed him, he did not have enough capital, and the Li family would not be able to support him.
There is still a difference between a son-in-law and a son, especially in a large family like the Li family, who will pay attention to you if there is no interest connection?
Not everyone is lucky enough to be the son-in-law of a charter king, and not everyone has the mind and boldness of a charter king.
Chen Yi shook his head, now is not the time to think about those things, Boss Li is still alive and well, there is nothing wrong with him, no matter how much he thinks, it is useless.
Similarly, even if Boss Shao is interested in the TV industry, he can only watch and continue to fight with the two traitors Jiahe.
As long as Boss Li eats Ma Ma Xiang every day, and his **** is still sitting on the TVB chairman's seat, then no one can peek at that position.
Seeing Chen Yi shaking his head, Liang Yuyi immediately closed her mouth.
Although she is a high-level leader in TVB, she is still a part-time worker in the final analysis. Chen Yi is appreciated by the big boss, so her leisure time is completely superfluous.
Thinking about this point, Liang Yiyi stopped talking nonsense, and after asking some more details, she left with the plan.
After Liang Yuyi left, Shen Xunxia found the host and actors of Happy Tonight. In the early 1970s, the four hosts of Happy Tonight were Shen Xunxia, Wang Mingquan, Wang Aiming, and Zhang Yuanyuan.
As for these four, Chen Yi had heard of Shen Xunxia because she was married to Qiu Guan, but the other three were completely unfamiliar.
As for the actors, let alone, no matter whether they are good-looking or not, he doesn’t know any of them, and he hasn’t even heard of them.
Chen Yi didn't care about this either, and he didn't know him if he didn't know him.
Anyway, he has no interest in these people. In his eyes, these people are currently soy saucers. After a few years when those famous male and female stars appear, these people should almost receive box lunches.
Everyone finds the Rubik's Cube very interesting. There are no mobile phones to play with these days. When people are resting, there are hardly many entertainment games except for reading newspapers.
The emergence of the Rubik's Cube undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
Fortunately, Chen Yi was fully prepared this time and brought a lot of Rubik's Cubes here, with the purpose of giving them to people like TVB.
As people who work in the media industry, these people have a relatively wide circle of friends. Let these people publicize. With their influence, they can attract the attention of many people even without publicity.
